Episode 189: Gimme a Break!

00:31 Post-Renovation Debrief: Terri's bathroom reno is complete, but it will never be perfect. Just like our reflections in every mirror we encounter.

05:11 We Could Care, But We Choose Not To: We had a bossy parenting article to discuss, but decide to give ourselves a break on that, along with lots of other things parents are probably supposed to be worrying about.

22:36 Friday Speed Round: Missed Milestones: We have also opted not to worry about milestones like riding the school bus, taking photos with Santa, and going camping.

31:58 Roundabout Roundup: Catherine's fed up with kids' water bottles, Terri is talking Dancing with the Stars on Facebook and Annie Barrett's blog, and Nicole is getting the low-down from Urban Dictionary.

41:50 Shameless Self-Promotion: Learn to Skate and World Girls' Ice Hockey Weekend; 8 Tips for Introducing a Student with Disabilities to a General Education Classroom; and this podcast's graphics on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook (a combined project of Catherine, who listens for the quotes, and Terri, who designs and shares 'em).
